Insomniac Games has confirmed that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will feature raytracing for all visual modes.
Speaking with IGN in a recent interview, director of core technology Mike Fitzgerald and project director Jeannette Lee discussed how the team has taken full advantage of the PlayStation 5 for the upcoming sequel, with Fitzgerald revealing that the game will have three framerate options.
Those framerate modes include 30, 40, and 60 FPS, and each option will feature raytracing by default.
«For this game, we’re really able to deliver [ray tracing] as a baseline performance mode,» Fitzgerald said. «There’s no mode of this game that has the ray tracing turned off, no need for it. We’ve really figured out how to deliver what we feel like is the right Spider-Man visuals and we want to make sure every player is seeing that.»
The developer explained how each framerate option is different, saying 30 FPS will have better graphical fidelity, but if you want to run the game at 60 FPS you'll need to sacrifice some visual quality.
As for 40 FPS, this is a new option that wasn't present in either Marvel's Spider-Man or Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales and is essentially for those with a 120Hz TV. Whichever framerate option you choose to play with, each mode will still have raytracing enabled.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set to launch on October 20 exclusively for PS5. Although it's not confirmed at this time, the sequel could also come to PC in the future like its predecessors.
It was recently confirmed that Spider-Man 2 will feature over 65 suits to unlock, as well as a new feature called Suit Styles that allows the player to unlock alternate color shades for various suits.
In the meantime, here are the best PS5 games you can play in 2023, as well as our list of the best single-player titles if you'd rather prioritize a solo adventure.

After initially circulating on Twitter last week (and being removed), the cinematic TV spot for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is now officially available. It sees Peter Parker and Miles Morales battling Venom in Manhattan, unsure if they can protect their loved ones but still committing to fight. Check it out below, though be warned of spoilers for the first game.
The fact of the matter is that people want to be playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 right now instead of having to wait several weeks for it. Granted, the game has gone gold, and people are happy that it won’t be delayed again, so there is that. But while the wait is shorter, it’s not short enough. As such, people are starting to look for any pieces of information that can help them satiate their desire for their title. It won’t be enough, but it’ll do for now. For example, on Twitter, someone was able to find out the start screens for the game, and they paint two very different pictures.
Hey, everyone! I’m Michele Zorrilla, the Advanced Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games. With the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just around the corner, our team at Insomniac is excited to share one of the ways we can all #BeGreaterTogether – through accessibility! So today, I’d like to highlight some of the notable accessibility features swinging into the game at launch on October 20, then I’ll pass it over to Sam Schaffel, Insomniac Games’s Accessibility Design Researcher, who will provide an update on more features arriving in a post-launch update.
Insomniac are putting a lot of extra detail in to Spider-Man 2 to make the open world feel more alive, and that includes being able to jump on the rides on Coney Island and take spin. Project manager Jeannette Lee spoke to Golem and was asked about her thoughts open “future of open-world superhero games”.

The release of Spider-Man 2 is coming up quick (October 20, to be exact!), so there’s no better time than now to go back to the two previous games and brush up on everything that’s happened in the story. If you’ve yet to pick those games up for yourself, though, now’s a great time to do so. At the moment, you can save over $25 on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition for PS5 (see it at Amazon), dropping the price from $69.99 to $42.57. Get in on the web-slinging action and pick up this game for yourself at the links below.
One of the biggest highlights from Insomniac Games’ dive into the realm of Spider-Man was that they made it clear rather early that both Peter Parker and Miles Morales were part of this universe. Ever since the latter’s introduction in Marvel Comics, he’s become a very popular character, so much so that he got a spinoff game on the PS5 and will be a co-main character in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 when it releases next month. But the voice actor behind Peter Parker feels that “another Miles” could enter their universe. One from a movie you might know.
One of the first titles of writer Jonathan Hickman's new Ultimate Universe has been announced, and it's the same one that started the original Ultimate Marvel line way back when: Ultimate Spider-Man.
When you’re playing as Spider-Man, you don’t really expect to be worrying about fall damage, but if you do want to add that wrinkle to the excellent traversal mechanics of the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, interestingly enough, you will actually have the option to turn that on.
Better get ready to wear those Spidey suits again because Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has gone gold. Insomniac Games announced the news on their Twitter page Wednesday, and the studio also published a video with the cast psyched about the game going gold. At this point, it’s unlikely that the game will get delayed.
